[PATCH v2 0/2] serial: imx: fix unregister/register console

From: Francesco Dolcini
Date: Wed Oct 20 2021 - 15:27:09 EST


Hi,
here a couple of fixes to properly handle imx serial console
unregister/register at runtime.

The patch from Stefan was already posted years ago but never merged [1],
however is still valid and it's pretty easy to trigger the problem. We have
this patch in our kernel tree since 3 years, but for some reason we never
managed to upstream it.

As correctly wrote by Uwe [2] this issue affects multiple drivers, I could
provide a patch for those, but I will not have any way to test it.

The second patch is required to have a balanced clock enable/disable
when doing console register/unregister.

The issue is present at least since
a3cb39d258ef ("serial: core: Allow detach and attach serial device for console")

Changes in v2:
Improved commit message and added fixes tag.
